What Happened

Texas Department of Public Safety officials are investigating a crash that killed a motorcyclist at US 77 in Denton, TX on April 2nd, 2023. Officials have stated the crash took place around 2:21 p.m. According to investigators, a Volvo XC90 operated by an unidentified 68-year-old woman was traveling southbound in a left lane of traffic. Also headed southbound in a left lane was a motorcycle operated by 35-year-old Victor Drayton Jr. Police believe the motorcycle performed a lane change to a right lane as traffic ahead slowed. The Volvo is believed to have performed a right turn from the left lane in an attempt to travel onto a northbound frontage road. In the process, the vehicle collided with the motorcycle, the impact ejecting Drayton from the vehicle as a result. Drayton suffered fatal injuries as a result of the collision. Police say the other driver was not injured and had no additional information to share.
